Location
Sand Hollow State Park gives direct access to over 15,000 acres of perfectly sculpted dunes on Sand Mountain. You can access this favorite destination of OHV enthusiasts on the south side of the park via the tunnel that goes underneath SR-7. The reservoir which stays above 65 degrees a majority of the year offers recreational activities for water sport enthusiasts and fishermen alike. Nearby state and federal parks offer access to some of Southern Utah’s most scenic views.
Recreation
Sand Hollow State Park offers over 1,322 acres on the reservoir for boaters, paddleboarders, divers and more. Enjoy the thrill of wakeboarding or wake surfing behind a sport boat or find gentler waters around the redrock islands to test your luck (and bait type) against different species of fish. The reservoir houses largemouth bass, green sunfish, and bluegill. Sand Mountain on the south side of the park offers over 15,000 acres of off roading trails ranging from beginner trails to technically challenging feats. Test your luck and your limits on sand dunes and rock scrambles that overlook the incredible view of Sand Hollow Reservoir. If you want to bring along your four legged friends, Sand Hollow does allow dogs as long as they are always supervised and on a leash. The park is also equestrian friendly, bring your horses to enjoy the waters or beaches of Sand Hollow. If adventuring is not your style and you’re more of a lounging on vacation kind of person, enjoy our long stretch of sandy beach access and picnic tables. Depending on the time of year and water levels, test your skills at our seasonal disc-golf course. Lastly, Sand Hollow is in Hurricane UT. The name is appropriate with the consistent wind the park gets. Bring your kites or your wind foils and have a blast on the beach and in the lake!
